It's not easy to suggest things not knowing anything about him, but how about a bottle of port (if you're old enough to buy alcohol), some stilton cheese and some crackers?
If I had a daughter, I know it wouldn't be what she gave me that mattered, just the kind thoughts.

A lot depends on how old he is and what you can afford. If he was young in the early 70's how about a 'Rolf Harris' Stylophone. I'm thinking of buying Mr Spudqueen one for Christmas!

my dad is in his early 50s, a young early 50s, very trendy one.

Does he have any hobbies? is he into fashion or anything?
What about a nice wallet
A good book - e.g. an autobiography of someone he admires or finds funny.
A nice bottle of whisky

How about subscription to his favourite magazine?

I got in touch with http://www.createacalendar.info/
for my dad's 70th and used old photos from down the years. We were both very pleased with the result.

Good luck

My daughter bought me a copy of a newspaper on the day I was born.
It was very interesting to see what was going on in the news and the price of stuff in the adverts.
